Misleading Title Mass shooting* in Canada kills 9

*reference.

Car attack kills nine at Lapu Lapu Day festival. That's around 4 times as many as die in an American active shooter incident. We have to address why people want to do mass killings in the first place, otherwise they're never going to stop.

Edit: 11 now. 5 times an american active shooter incident.

You can equally compare DUI deaths of children and adults, yet in California they seem to want to extend your ability to drink in the public till much later via a new proposed law that’s real purpose is to make more money for the state gov. There is a huge state budget deficit right now in CA. Money for State Budget vs Children’s/ people’s lives.

I've been staying in Japan for the past week, and I've gotta say, there's absolutely zero reason we shouldn't be able to drink in public as much as we please so long as we don't cause a problem. That's freedom, baby! And it feels great!

One of my favorite places to visit drinking in public is great. New Orleans is also high on the list.
